Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

YES this. We should start a community. I hate advertising, absolutely hate it, and do everything I can to avoid it. Pihole โœ…, YouTube premium โœ…, sponsorblock โœ…, Firefox โœ…, ublock origin โœ….

What else am I missing, I want it all blocked!

YouTube Premium โŽ

Invidious โœ…

You don't need to pay the people most responsible for the problem (Google). My primary instance is invidious.flokinet.to, but most others provide a good experience. With a small configuration change, SponsorBlock works with Invidious.

Also Firefox is pretty good, but check out Librewolf if you're on Linux. No telemetry, and private by default.

We should start a community

Agreed, but I don't have the time/energy/social skills to moderate it.
